Thomas Reed, who created AdwareMedic, was hired by Malwarebytes to help them create a Mac version of their software. The result was the v1.x series of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, essentially a continuation and upgrade from AdwareMedic. Note that AdwareMedic development ended in 2015. Like most programs, AdwareMedic instructs you to drag its icon to your Applications folder to install it, but you don’t actually have to do that if you don’t wanna. Just double-click on the.
Recently, some adware has been preventing people from downloading AdwareMedic, by causing a click on the Download button to redirect to another site (typically the MacKeeper site) on the affected Mac. I'm not sure whether this is an attempt to prevent download of AdwareMedic, or if it's simply an effect applied to any 'download' button on any site. Either way, though, this is a definite symptom of having adware installed.
If you are experiencing this problem, there are a few things you can try. First, try copying the following URL and pasting it into your browser's address bar, which will initiate the download of the AdwareMedic.dmg file:
http://www.adwaremedic.com/AdwareMedic.dmg
If that doesn't work, try opening Safari and disabling all Safari extensions, by opening Safari's preferences, clicking the Extensions icon and toggling the switch to 'Off'.
Then try downloading AdwareMedic in Safari. If it still doesn't work, restart your Mac in safe mode and try downloading in Safari again:
Another possibility would be to download AdwareMedic from a different computer, then transfer it to the affected Mac using a flash drive, or something else along those lines.
Finally, you could try following the manual removal instructions in my Adware Removal Guide:

Last week, I began to receive a series of reports from people that the Download button on the AdwareMedic site wasn’t working. First it was just a trickle, then a flood. For some people, the button was redirecting to the MacKeeper website. For others, it was going to a “not found” error page. I knew that the site itself wasn’t doing that, since I wrote every single piece of code on the AdwareMedic site… so what was going on?

It didn’t take long to figure out that this was the work of adware working on the affected machines. The only real question in my mind was: which one? Before I began investigating, though, I fought back. I added information to the AdwareMedic home page about how to handle these redirects, in the form of an alert:
![Adwaremedic Adwaremedic](/uploads/1/3/4/3/134362756/348557263.jpg)
That didn’t work for long, though. I began getting reports that the “What to do if the Download button redirects” link was also redirecting to the MacKeeper site. It seemed like the makers of this adware were responding to every step I took to try to counter my efforts. So I added the direct download link as plain text as well, just to keep them hopping. I also changed my site’s “not found” page to include information on what to do if clicking the Download button ended up on that page.

I eventually found a copy of the Downlite adware that exhibits this behavior, thanks to someone who had been affected by the issue, and installed it in a virtual machine. Mac os x lion skin pack for windows 7 4.0. I found that the behavior had changed yet again, now simply removing my alert entirely: https://heavenlyafter.weebly.com/precision-auto-tune-forestdale-al.html.
This was done through JavaScripts injected into the browser by the adware, and wasn’t done very smoothly… on loading the page, the alert was visible for a second, then disappeared. I also found that the Download link had been changed yet again, this time to simply point back to the main page, so clicking it would seem to do nothing (and wouldn’t go to the explanatory “not found” page).
Although this is extremely annoying, and is making some people using Downlite-infected Macs question the legitimacy of my site, I’m taking this as an indication of the success of AdwareMedic. If it weren’t having some impact on Downlite, I doubt they would bother. I’ll continue fighting back with further changes to the site, in order to keep them on their toes.
I’ve also reported this to Apple’s product security team, in hopes that this behavior will be the thing that finally gets Apple to block Downlite via the anti-malware XProtect system in all recent versions of Mac OS X.
In the meantime, for anyone affected by this problem, you can download AdwareMedic directly from here:
http://www.adwaremedic.com/AdwareMedic.dmg
If some future change to Downlite causes even that to stop working on infected Macs, you could download AdwareMedic on a different computer and transfer it via flash drive, or you could restart the infected Mac in safe mode (which will temporarily disable Downlite) and download it then.

Tuesday, October 28, 2014 @ 3:55 pm EST: Downlite is now blocking the AdwareMedic site entirely:

However, the direct download link still works, as would downloading on another machine or restarting in safe mode.
